In Loving Memory of Mr. Wallace It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to our dear neighbor and friend, Mr. Wallace. I will truly miss you. You were always approachable and kind. You were a presence that brought comfort and warmth to all who knew you. Your sense of humor never failed to bring a smile, and your musical talent was a gift you so generously shared. I will always remember the joy you spread through your music and the way your ministry touched the hearts of so many. You made the world a better, brighter place.

Mr. JoJo was such a talented, gentle and kindhearted man. I remember him singing with the Sensational Nightingales at my father's church and always enjoying his showmanship by swinging his guitar in the air! He was such a great friend to my father and even traveled to be a his bedside when my dad was in home hospice care in 2023. Their friendship was genuine and I'm forever grateful for him being there for my family during our time of grief. I know they are smiling and singing and shouting up in heaven together! Rest in peace Mr. JoJo! Job well done!!! ❤️

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
